Adding

“provided, however, that except
as specifically permitted by Section 409A of the Code and the Treasury
Regulations promulgated thereunder (“Section 409A”), the benefits provided to
the Executive under this Section 5(a)(ii) during any calendar year shall not
affect the benefits to be provided to the Executive under this Section 5(a)(ii)
in any other calendar year and the right to such benefits cannot be liquidated
or exchanged for any other benefit, in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section
1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) or any successor thereto”.
2.
|
Adding
the words “in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after the Date of
Termination” after “Accrued Obligations” in Sections 5(b)(i) and 5(c) and
at the end of Section 5(c)(x).
|
2.
|
Section
8 of the Agreement is hereby modified
by:
|
1.
|
Adding
the words “prior to the tenth anniversary of the end of the Employment
Period” after “incur” in the last sentence
thereof.
|
2.
|
Adding
the following sentences after the last sentence
thereof:
|
|
“Except
as specifically permitted by Section 409A, the legal fees provided to the
Executive under this Section 8 during any calendar year shall not affect
the legal fees to be provided to the Executive under this Section 8 in any
other calendar year and the right to such legal fees cannot be liquidated
or exchanged for any other benefit, in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section
1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) or any successor thereto. Furthermore,
reimbursement payments for legal fees shall be made to the Executive as
promptly as practicable following the date that the applicable expense is
incurred, but in any event not later than the last day of the calendar
year following the calendar year in which the underlying fee is incurred,
in accordance with Treas. Reg. Section 1.409A-3(i)(1)(iv) or any successor
thereto.”
|
3.
|
Section
9(b) of the Agreement is hereby modified by deleting the words “Unless the
Executive shall have given prior written notice specifying a different
order to the Company to effectuate the foregoing,” from the second
sentence thereof and deleting the last sentence
thereof.
|
4.
|
The
following new Section 16 is hereby added to the
Agreement:
|
Section
16. Section
409A of the Code. The provisions of this Section 16 shall
apply notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the
contrary.
|
(a)
|
Intent to Comply with
Section 409A of the Code. It is intended that the
provisions of this Agreement comply with Section 409A, and all provisions
of this Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in a manner
consistent with the requirements for avoiding taxes or penalties under
Section 409A.
|
|
(b)
|
Six-Month Delay of
Certain Payments. If, at the time of the Executive’s
separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A), (i) the
Executive shall be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section
409A and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from
time to time) and (ii) the Company shall make a good faith determination
that an amount payable under this Agreement or any other plan, policy,
arrangement or agreement of or with the Company or any affiliate thereof
(this Agreement and such other plans, policies, arrangements and
agreements, the “Company Plans”) constitutes deferred compensation (within
the meaning of Section 409A) the payment of which is required to be
delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A in
order to avoid taxes or
|
2
|
penalties
under Section 409A, then the Company (or an affiliate, as applicable)
shall not pay any such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but
shall instead accumulate such amount and pay it, without interest, on the
first day of the seventh month following such separation from
service.
|
|
(c)
|
Amendment of Deferred
Compensation Plans. Notwithstanding any provision of any
Company Plan to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to
the proper application of Section 409A, the Company reserves the right to
make amendments to any Company Plan as the Company deems necessary or
desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section
409A.
|
5.
|
Except
as set forth herein, all other terms and conditions of the Agreement shall
remain in full force and effect.
|
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Amendment as of
November 14, 2008.
